    Oh I do have more of those! They are delicious!!! A pleasure I don't have to be guilty about lolz. I would recommend lite n fit yogurt to anyone. And sprite zero which tastes surprisingly like normal sprite. I'll try to start eating more tomorrow. :)

    Another good option for a few extra calories and it's good for you is to get some protein powder and use it within 30 minutes of exercising. You can usually mix it with milk or water. The powders help to replenish the muscles after a good workout. :)

    I see a lot of people saying that you will go into starvation mode and lose lean muscle. Is this true if you continue to do muscle buidling exercise and cardio though? I'm not sure?

    I have this problem as well so thanks for the thread, it may help me as well! :-) I seem to end up about 150-200 shy most days, I am not tired or hungry, it's darn bizarre actually!!

    I am adding in a full exercise schedule next week, so hopefully that will make me hungrier! I don't want to set myself back but have a hard time with eating, even healthy, just to fill calories... As a serious e
    Emotional over eater it feels, wrong somehow...

    In the past, I've tried to cut calories to the extreme thinking I would lose weight more quickly. Unfortunately, I've ended up stagnating at the same weight. When I would load up on calories the next day, I would actually see a weight loss. I wouldn't go too extreme on calories deficits. I try to get within 50 of my goal either direction. If I don't see the scale move, I might actually add a little bit extra to jump start my metabolism again. It does help. Good luck.
